One question my neurologist seems to be a bit fuzzy on. He wants me to stop drinking for now which I have done but God I miss my Jack Daniels at the end of the day. Not a heavy drinker but like to unwind with one after work. Any thoughts? Not looking for anyone to give me permission to have one just want to hear of others experience on this topic or general thoughts as I start this journey.
Thank you

to start off....everyone is different so my deal with mg might be different than yours. that being said i can drink a few without having any problems at all. my mg is well under control though. your doctor probably wants you to stop for the time being so you can get used to new medicines like the prednisone. drinking isnt the best thing in the world for your immune system so adding that to a new influx of pred is prolly his concern
